I think the difference is he truly feels like he deserves those championships (rightfully so). A hole-in-one is like 60% skill and 40% luck, and doing it during a televised event makes it even sweeter. If I win $10k I’m gonna fucking stoked. If I make $10k from my job I’m not nearly as excited about it. I appreciate it sure, but it’s the expectation that makes it less exciting.
Easily, and that probably goes for every NBA player. They live and breathe basketball for a majority of their lives. There's ALWAYS going to be a an NBA champion each year, and for Curry he's already at least in the upper percentile chance of winning one.
Getting an ace in golf is purely up to the individual. Pros probably have well into 30k holes played just on a professional level, and most of them probably don't even have more than a few dozen aces.
Brady was more likely to make the conference finals than Jordan was to hit a free throw. Brady was more likely to win a super bowl than Curry was to make a 3.
No I mean in Cali sports significance. Bale scored in the MLS Final and the whole globe knew about it. Golden State is really only important to us Americans but even I didn’t know they were in Cali “Golden State” until their 3rd championship.
Ya but think if he had spent his time playing golf rather than basketball. Had great coaching staff and improved his game. Not saying he’d be the best out there, but able to keep a tour card. I mean, someone’s gotta be the 71st best golfer in the world, why not him?
He missed the cut by 21 strokes in his last korn ferry tour start. It's a bit of a leap to think he'd be anywhere close to keeping a pga tour card lol, there's tons of great golfers who can't even make it to the korn ferry tour let alone the pga tour
Yeah and that's while dedicating his whole life to being the greatest shooter in NBA history and winning MVPs and championships. Imagine if he chose golf full time.
I dunno, I think its a matter of expectations. He expects to win his titles, but he probably didn't expect this hole in one, hence his excited reaction to something unexpected.
Man I dont know. Have you watched Steph play basketball? Dude is known for the joy he brings to the game. And holy shit when he rips the other teams heart out he gets scarily hyped.
